    Whistler's new peak to peak gondola - pretty fucking cool





    it's going to be 4.4 km long, with the the maximum height being 415 m (almost 1400 feet) about the valley floor. only 4 towers, 51 million dollars to install. longest unsupported ski lift span in the world (over 3 km). i'm stoked, it will make it feasible to ride both mountains in a single day, rather that choosing a single one.

          That's awesome .. There's several great runs on each mountain and it was always a pain to pick one or the other.

              Crazy. Whistler is the best mountain I've ever been to.

                              About 10 years ago I was riding on the lift on Blackcomb, it stopped and our cart dropped a few feet. We were maybe 25-30 feet up - scary shit. After that I think I'll just walk peak to peak

                                          That kicks ass... I grew up riding at Whistler and yes that was always the big fight in the morning when we got there, choosing which mountain

                                                      I didn't get up there this year...Next year for sure and maybe over the summer for downhill biking and white water rafting.

                                                                                  i've been in crazy windstorms on the Whistler gondola, where they keep shutting it down due to wind, and the doors blow open. that happened a couple of times this year. a little freaky, but you get used to it.

                                                                                  yep, exactly. and since i live at the base of creekside, it will be much, much quicker to get over to the top of Blackcomb than it is right now.
